On the positive side of today's loss the defense has improved drastically over the last couple weeks with Kuechly at mlb. he is a tackling machine and practically neutralized forte single-handedly after that first td. we have a new leader of this defense.

I have been pleased with Kuechly's play since he moved to the middle and took over the D. He has the potential to be a superstar in this league.

D overall has looked a lot better recently. As disappointed as I am in the O I am equally happy with the improvement on D. Lots of progress to be made there but they are showing up to play.

Kuchely is not only a great defender but has a great body as well and I can see him in the league for 10-15 years with little injury history. It was a great pick and the right pick considering the other choices at the time have failed to impress (Fletcher Cox, Stefon Gilmore, Melvin Ingram, Dontari Poe, Michael Brockers have all had little to no impact on the game, only Bruce Irvin should be considered as the pick besides Kuechly in a redraft)

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
